Let g be a simple Lie algebra of rank n over the complex numbers C. 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.

Keywords: Cartan subalgebra, Jordan Lie subalgebra.
