Highlights: [•] Estimating DNA content of Phalaenopsis by using flow cytometry was established. [•] The 2C values of these species ranged from 2.77pg to 17.47pg. [•] Intraspecific variations in 2C values at aneuploid or euploid levels were observed. [•] Various degrees of homogeneity of genome size within taxa give further insight. [•] The database of 2C values provided in this research is helpful to orchid breeders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
