It looks like a hybrid of Masdevallia veitchiana or even possibly the species itself. Either way, it's a heck of a bargain! I have a M. veitchiana ready to open and will post a picture so you can compare.
As far as culture goes, it is a relatively cool grower, and should never dry out completely. It would probably thrive next to a swamp cooler. I grow very similar plants outdoors year-round here in San Jose, protected from rain and frost, of course.
Great Buy!

Rick
