I am currently writing a summary for a poison called "Wourali". One of the ingredients for it is two kinds of bulbous plants(specifically the stalks of them). Is this fine?
They bind the vine with the stalks of two species of protuberant plants.

There's nothing wrong with using of twice, in nested preposition phrases.
(What does bind the vine mean?)
Short answer. Yes, because you are identifying the chartacteristics of two subsets.
Species and Protuberant plants. It gets repetitive if used more then twice though:
"...stalks of two species of protuberous plants of the deciduous family of the Neolithic era..."
:Prince Dudley of Whoville, Earl of Grinchland, Duke of Christmas town, heir to the throne of Whimsy World"
But don't quote me on those nonsense examples.
