I think the plant should be Spinacia oleracea only. The leaves are many times like Beta vulgaris only especially in Baby spinach plants. The axillary flowers are female flowers (male in panicles) and spines that you see are the bracteoles of female flower which become hard in fruit (in forma spinosa) and are spiny. We can see lobed leaves which we find in Spinacia not Beta.
