Thanks to both Jim Nottke and Bassem Samaan. I guess it's trifoliate orange. That's not quite hardy here (we usually get a few nights below zero) and a thorny invasive plant with barely useable fruit isn't what I need anyhow, so I guess I'll just cut off the sprout and tell the plant to direct its energy towards the Meyers Lemon. :)

Trifoliate Orange (Poncirus trifoliata) can grow to a large citrus tree. The juvenile spines are thin, but on the mature tree they are stout and up to 2.5 inches long. Here it is hardy to 5 degrees. The fruit is very seedy and the pulp is very tart - with much effort, the fruit can be made into marmalade or lemonade. They are hard to eradicate once established.

My potted meyers lemon has a sprout from below the graft. It looks
completely different: the leaf is long and has three leaflets, and the
stem has more, thinner spikes.

I plan to remove it, but I'm curious what it might be. Any guesses?

The plant is hardy to about 20F, and the mature bark on the stock looks
just like the mature bark on the lemon.
