About plant names...

This aloe cross is a native of South Africa. I couldn't find any information about it. I did find a study of the two species this is a cross between—Aloe arborescens and Aloe ferox—and both of these have been found to share Aloe vera’s curative properties, so perhaps this cross is beneficial too.
