Rescue plant ; Aloe?

[Mrs.Green]

Found this messy growing plant binned in a garden center. All it needed was water and it perked up. Could it be an Aloe cultivar of some sort? The pot is 9 cm in diameter.

Looks like Alworthia 'Black Gem' - but with thinner/flatter leaves ?

Thanks a lot Teo! It certainly looks like it’s the sort. I just repotted it , it originally came in a 5 cm pot and was very dry, the leaves was even thinner when I found it, almost papery.

Nice foundling.

Thank you Nachtcrab I agree and saving a rescue plant is satisfying too.

...isn't it? What would we do without them to cherish & nurture & care for -- and admire them when our ugly little duckling changes into a lovely swan...?
