rye brome foot(ing)

Literally.

Could be that it is similar in appearance or has similar roots somehow.

Note that Swedish has several names for it: faxe, losta, rågsvingel

ground anchor (faxefot type)

I cannot find any equivalent in US/UK websites.
I think this is a practical answer. It will show the contractor that a specialised type of marker post anchor is required (and enable him to negotiate an alternative, if he so wishes).
Ref shows something similar.
