I rescued these two today from our local cactus abusers ( trays inside, poor light bottom shelf etc).
I have just this year started getting into non-cacti succulents so I am looking for some assistance in naming these as they are just labelled Aloe.
I think one is Gasteria cv 'little warty'. Both in 5.5cm pots.
TIA.

The Gasteria does look like the Little Warty I purchased last year including similar compost, but yours does look much more abused than mine.

Yes, it is Gasteria ‘Little Warty’, some have more leaf pattern than others. The other is possibly the form of Aloe Humilis with fancy leaf markings grown by one Dutch nursery through selective breeding. It might be a Gasteraloe though, there’s a Dutch range sold as ‘Tiga’ with an added letter eg D Tiga etc. It’s hard to tell until it recovers in better light.

Looking at it again, the leaf is the wrong colour for Aloe Humilis, I'd go for one of the Dutch Gasteraloe hybrids.

Thanks for the replies, I had a look at Aloe humilis and at some Gasteraloe images online. Probably not definitive but I think the leaf spikes look more like one of the Aloe humilis images I've seen.

Although it's little more than a hunch, once a flower is formed, the first image may torn out to be an Aloe juvenna

Thanks for the reply, I had a look at images of Aloe juvenna and I think it still looks closer to the Aloe humilis.
I put this down to the greater number of spines on the leaf surface as opposed to bumps.
