It's certainly a citrus of some kind, have you planted it outdoors? :o

I agree with Merry, definately a citrus of some description.  Am no help whatsoever with care though as mine always get smothered in scale and drop down dead!  :'(

It looks like a Lemon tree.  I grew one from seed many years ago and I remember it having, what looked like, thorns on the stems.  I threw it away because it was growing too big for the house - after one year.
