What is a vara conuquera?

It is a historic regional variant of the Spanish vara, a pre-metric length unit used in parts of the Spanish-speaking world, varying roughly around 0.8 to 0.85 meters.

Why does the length of a reed vary?

The reed is an obsolete regional unit whose length depended on the local tradition or measuring rod used, lacking a standardized measurement.
