Looks like it could be Aloe cilaris to me. If it is, it grows out and wants to climb and has nice very orangy flowers as it grows taller.

Does anyone have baby aloe plants that they could ship for postage? Lost mine and love to use them for burns. Thanks, Kathy

The aloe in the picture could be a few things. It's a little small to tell. Flowers would help. Maybe arborescens. Probably not ciliaris, which has really fine hairlike teeth unlike the big bumpy ones in the picture.

Kathy, for health and safety reasons, be sure that you are using a medicinal aloe (Aloe vera) for burns... there are four or five hundred species of aloe and some of them are actually poisonous. I say this because it's sometimes hard to tell what kind of aloe one has from the appearance of a small random offset.

I agree with Baja Costero, immature offshoot of arborescens good possibility.
