Wrongly named seed?

Hi
I bought some seed as Aloe Victoria Regina but the resulting plants don't seem anything like the ones I've seen.
Welcome any suggestions as to what they might be.
Thanks

I think it is a Agave stricta

HI Alfran
Does look similar to some seedlings I have as A.stricta nana, I have some 2 yr old seedlings of A.vict- reg if you want one ? (PM me).

Hi,
Many thanks for your comments. I made a mistake and meant to say Agave VR not Aloe, but as Iann says - they both begin with 'A'
Looking at the plant again, with reference books, it does look very much like stricta.
