Their names are _Pinguicula elongata_, _P.calyptrata_, and _P.involuta_.

This is apparently correct, although there has (allegedly) been an
(unsuccessful?) attempt at cultivating _P.elongata_ by H.Weiner a couple of
years ago.

_P.involuta_ is quite certainly one of the least known non-Mexican species
(perhaps just second after _P.jackii_) of this genus.

I do not know but I doubt these alpine species grow really together with
_Drosera_ in the Paramos. But perhaps _D.cendeensis_ & al. can be seen
during the ascent.
How about E Siberia or Er Rif (Morocco)? ;-)
If "deepest jungle"=Mexico, where are the limits?
Kind regards
