Wrinkly pseudobulbs on the Oncidium complex (OC) is pretty normal. As to if it has good roots, that is something that can only be determined by looking at the actual roots. I have had a couple of people report lately that they bought beautifully blooming OC's only to discover upon repotting that the plants had no roots, and it was not because they were rotted off, but the plant was probably broken off from the large mother plant with just opening blooms and placed in a pot for sale. Don't know how these were anchored to the pot since I did not see the actual plants, but I was told that the method of attachment involved using florist's foam. Dig around in the pot a bit until you can test a few roots with the gentle squeeze technique to see if the plant has at least some viable roots. If you don't like what you see, check the tag for a clonal name, then order one from somewhere else.
