No idea.

Did you mean Aloe ferox?

He probably did, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

An aloe, certainly, and I'd go for A. mitriformis, see
http://tinyurl.com/3vep9ej .

Sacha, if you're selling aloes, you should try A. striatula. The ones
in my garden have actually survived the last two winters planted
outside. Admittedly they're on walls, so raised off the ground and
very well drained, but we had lying snow and temperatures of -6C. One
that was at ground level in garden soil succumbed. It can get quite
bushy, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aloe_striatula_1.jpg  . A
bit bigger than mine, but they're heading that way.

Gardening in West Cornwall overlooking the sea.
Mild, but very exposed to salt gales

 

Looks very like it.  Many thanks to everyone who has helped such a lot
with all these.

I like that!  But I think it would turn its toes up in our garden,
though your experience of growing it in a well drained place shows how
tough they can be in the right place - very interesting.  However, it's
one I'll pass on to the powers that be.  We also have Aloe ciliaris
which is the climbing Aloe - very triffidy!
