Xeno is an adjective which means strange, foreign, or alien. It's related to the word xenos which does mean stranger, foreigner, etc. I'm pretty sure xenophobia is actually derived from xenos, so sometimes when you see xeno you just have to judge whether an adjective or a noun would fit better. In the case of xenoflora, strange plant makes a good deal more sense than stranger plant. Either way, the word alien can be used either as either an adjective or a noun and happens to be synonymous with both words. —Jimbo Jambo
