Environment memory_limit

Permalink
In dashboard > settings > debug > environment the memory limit is displaying as
memory_limit - 256M
But the php.ini and phpinfo() shows it as 16M. I even added the line php_value memory_limit 16M to the .htaccess file to see if it made a difference, but no.
So, where is 256M coming from? Is it cached somewhere?
