Wink Can anyone even get me to genus on this?

Hi this is (I think!) an orchid that I found as a couple of desiccated little pseudobulbs in someone's driveway. I picked it up and stuck it in an old clay teacup for a couple of years; it soon got too big, and I've had to move it a couple of times again... It has never flowered, so that probably makes IDing it difficult, but I have absolutely no idea where to begin with trying to ID it (short of this forum...)
It has thick fleshy robust leaves, with a sort of toothed or rough margin. Would greatly appreciate a stab from anyone here.
Thanks!

Hi, it looks like Eulophia petersii. I've got it and I grow it like a cactus: mineral (80%) and normla soil (20%). Full sun, water when growing and dried rest period.

Excellent, many thanks! I've been wondering for ages (years, actually). Any tips on getting it to flower?

Eulophia perhaps.

Oops... I see someone beat me to it while I was checking references.

As I saw, they must get huge: pseudobulb and leaf at least 35/40 cm (14/15 inch), and a big clump, because the stem can reach 2 meters (76/78 inch) and needs a lot of energy.
