There are named and unnamed varieties of Aloe compressa which remain both distichous and stemless their entire lives. Not sure whether this is one, but I've seen a few which vary a lot in color from purples to glaucous greens and with varying amounts of spines/teeth/bumps. Sometimes I wonder if they're not mislabeled because they vary so much.

The only reason I've paid attention is because I have an unnamed Gasteria hybrid which at one point I thought was an Aloe compressa, and it is basically the same color as this plant except much smaller and with stouter leaves.
Keep going!
