We study D-stable flows on orientable 2-manifolds of finite genus in connection with the topology of the underlying phase spaces. The description of the phase portrait is used to prove that a connected orientable 2-manifold of finite genus supporting a non-minimal D-stable flow must be homeomorphic to an open subset of the 2-sphere or the 2-torus. In the case of the presence of singularities we necessarily have an open subset of the 2-sphere.
