Aloe naming conflict

I just got this aloe today and decided that it was an aloe burgersfortensis based upon photos on the Internet.

As is my won't; I went to IUCN, Kews, in this case SANBI and tree of life to verify the name and to get it's level of endangerment.

SANBI says that aloe burgersfortensis is a synonym for Aloe parvibracteata while Kews says that they are both accepted names.

I tend to go with Kews on this one as SANBI is notoriously behind the times.

I really miss the old IUCN interface that verified the names on Not Assessed plants while the new interface simply says 0 found.

What think you? Is this parvibracteata, burgersfortensis or something totally different???
