We show that the n-dimensional abelian ideals of a Borel subalgebra of g are limits of Jordan Lie subalgebras. Combining this with a classical result by Kostant, we show that the g-module spanned by all n-dimensional abelian Lie subalgebras of g is actually spanned by the Jordan Lie subalgebras. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.04508v1
