From Backebergs Trichocereus Lexicon, T. strigosus (SD.) Br. & R. (1)
Ba. offsetting from the base to form large colonies to over 1 in br.; shoats to 60 cm h., to 6cm 25; Ri. 15—18, very low; Ar. fairly crowded, with dense white wool at first; Sp. scarcely differentiated into Rsp. and Csp., acicular, variable in colour, from white through yellow to pink, reddish-brown or black, numerous, sharp, 1—5 cm long.; Fl. white to delicate pink, to. 20cm long., with brownish H.; S.2 mm long., glossy black.—W. Argentina (Mendoza; San Juan).
Fl. reported as being either scented or unscented; the probability is that, as known in other spec., they are perfumed only at certain times. To distinguish them from the purely white Fl., those with a ± lilac-pink colour could be described as v. roseoalbus (plants such as those in Monaco’s Jardin Exotique).
Got this from an online vendor, is a spikey little buggar ~*
