Had this Echinopsis hybrid with slightly purplish flowers for many years. Would appreciate any assistance to identify this hybrid.

At a guess I would say it is Echinopsis eyriesii.

Can this be Echinopsis oxygona?

To be honest a true ID on these is almost impossible, they have been interbred and back crossed so many times by commercial growers/companies trying come up with new flower colours that are stable. The best ID of sorts is Echinopsis Hybrid.

All that being said this plant appears to have a fairly 'typical' flower so E. Oxygona fits it pretty well.
