I need some strange plant monsters for "cursed oasis" adventure... does anyone know if things like the Algoid or tr-flowers are statted up in any of the 5e products?

Blights, Corpse Flowers, Shambling Mounds; these are all good plant monsters.

Honestly, most aberrations are easily reflavorable to plants as well, like gibberish mouthers and Ropers.

Twig Blights are in the Monster Manual.

Tomb of Annihilation has the tri-frond flower, the yellow musk creeper, assassin vines, and vegepygmies, off the top of my head.

I can recommend using the Tome of Beasts and Creature Codex from Kobold Press, as they have a heap of plant beings.

Volo's has several in the form of the Vegepygmies.

The easiest thing I've done for "weird" plant monsters is choose an aberration of the appropriate CR, give it plant traits on top of what already there. Describe it differently.

Don't know if it has 5e stat block made but look into the monster "Wolf-in-sheep's-clothing" that old monster may feel just right, depending on how you modify its lure.
