An analysis of unsteady convective flow of viscous stratified fluid through porous medium past an infinite vertical porous plate in presence of heat source under the influence of magnetic field applied normal to the plane of the plate has been presented. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using Laplace transform technique. The solution are expressed in terms of exponential and complimentary error function. The effects of various parameters on velocity and temperature field are depicted graphically, whereas skin friction and rate of heat transfer are presented in tabular form and discussed.
