Mystery Houseplant

I spotted this cute little thing at a big box retailer recently. It cost a whopping $2.98. How could I resist?

I didn't know what it was but I can usually find these things out with a little Google-foo.

Not this time. I found the supplier's website and it's not pictured there. Any ideas?

    Take care with water in autumn and winter. I killed my poor plant last winter due to overwatering :(. I live in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil (equivalent to USDA Zone 8).
    Bye!
