Default Masdevallia rolfeana???

Hello, I lost a label on a Masdevallia. I think it is Masdevallia rolfeana, see the photo. Can someone verify the name?
Thank you, alan-rr

Yes, you are right. This orchid is Masdevallia rolfeana and it is known as true cloud forest orchids. They require constant moisture and they grow throughout the year. Place the plant in a certain location, they tend to stay healthy when left in one spot.
